Be aware of these offshore jobs that say work for us for 2 weeks then again in a few months. Most never happen after the first 2 week trip. They would only give you 2/3 weeks off max. I have been working offshore for 15 years and it happens all the time. Ask for a contract. Not many folk on 3K a week offshore especially your first trip.
You're an evil genius. I thought "I've got the shits" was a good excuse that no-one really questions, or the more extreme "I've shat myself" which they definitely won't question, but "I've got HIV" beats that by a mile.
Better than "Reading, playing video games, not taking my HIV meds" though :D
Dead relative 3 days max - Ive lost count of the number of people who take weeks off for 'stress' at my work easy to blag the doc as well and they will sign you off for 2 weeks.
I knew a guy who took so many sick days for "Diarrhoea" that his work made him got to see a proctologist. He continued faking the symptoms to such an extent that the doctor ordered a colonoscopy. When the results came back inconclusive he was placed on 3 months full paid sick leave.
You'd really want to have a camera rammed up your arse for that though.
3 months off and a camera up the butt? Jackpot
